It is important for our health, growth and vitality that we keep our chakras clear strong and balanced.

There are times when our Chakras become imbalanced, damaged, blocked or 'muddied' with residual negative energy, as the result of negativity, poor eating habits, lack of exercise or holding back our emotions.

Damaged or unbalanced Chakras can effect our physical and emotional health, often with the manifestation of symptoms such as depression, a lack of inspiration, a lack of energy, and a lack of spiritual atunement.

These simple exercises will help us to clear and balance our chakras.

Having entered our sacred site, or a quiet place for meditation, we are ready to begin.

We Breathe, we prepare ourselves. We open our soul.

Exercise One

We lay down somewhere that is comfortable for us, which may be a bed, a couch or on the floor.

We may hold our position for more or less time than recommended for this exercise, depending on what we are comfortable with.

We take in a deep breath and hold it. We tighten the muscles in our feet, and hold the position for 10 seconds. We release our breath and muscles, and we relax for 10 seconds.

At this point we may be given, an idea, a concept, or a thought may enter our consciousness, and draw our focus.

We may suspend our meditation to go into our focus, or we may conclude our meditation.

Exercise Two

Exercise two is a very simple exercise which will stimulate and open our lower, minor chakras, in our feet and knees as well as allowing us to make contact with the earth beneath us.

We stand up, we stomp one foot on the ground a few times.

We relax for 10 seconds, we stomp the other foot on the ground a few times.

We may repeat this exercise as many times as we feel the need to repeat the exercise.

Exercise Three

Exercise three is a simple exercise which may be alternated with exercise two.

We may hold our position for more or less time than recommended for this exercise, depending on what we are comfortable with.

We stand up, we raise our hands above your head. We take a deep breath. We tighten our stomach muscles and stretch upwards. We hold the position for 10 seconds, and relax.

We may repeat this exercise as many times as we feel the need to repeat the exercise.

Exercise Four

Exercise four uses crystals to align our chakras. We may need help placing the crystals on our body.

We lay down somewhere that is comfortable for us, which may be a bed, a couch or on the floor.

We place one quartz crystal on the top of each thigh pointing upward.

We place two crystals in the centre of our chest below our heart chakra pointing upward.

We place two crystals on our third eye chakra, in the centre of our forehead, just above our eyebrows, pointing downward.

Finally we hold a crystal in each palm pointing upward.

We remain relaxed for 15 minutes, whilst taking deep breaths and allow our chakras to realign.

At this point we may be given, an idea, a concept, or a thought may enter our consciousness, and draw our focus.

We may suspend our meditation to go into our focus, or we may conclude our meditation.
